Alia Bhatt’s biggest secrets: From stealing set props to spying on phones

“I know the password”

Could anyone be cooler than Alia Bhatt? Whether kvelling on cats or spying on Ryan Gosling, everything she does (or clicks) reminds us why she’s the most followed millennial in showbiz. As she models in the Blue City, Vogue tracks down 50 more reasons to love her. Here’s an excerpt:

5. A prop you stole from a set?
“I asked for a pillow that I really liked from an ad film set. It’s still in my room, actually.”

6. Most genuine person in Bollywood?
“Akshay Kumar.”

7. Your house is on fire. Your loved ones are safe. You have time to make a final dash to save one item. What would it be?
“I think I’ll just get my phone.”

8. An item you stole from your sister’s wardrobe and never returned?
“I’m sure I stole her coin collection. One day I landed up with way too many coins—vintage ones from all over the world. I hadn’t travelled so much then, so obviously they’re hers.”

13. What would you like for your 25th birthday?
“A holiday in Greece.”

14. The one thing you have in your refrigerator at any given time?
“Cheese. Mostly cheddar and goat cheese.”

15. A millennial you’d like to swap life with for a day?
“Gigi Hadid.”

16. If you could be any animal in the world, what animal would you be?
“A lion.”

17. How many cat breeds can you name without Googling?
“Siamese, Persian… and there’s the cross between Siamese and Persian…”

18. A Snapchat filter you like trying on your cat, Pica?
“The dog face. People think Pica was named after Pikachu but she has nothing to do with Pokémon.”

19. An app that should have been invented by now?
“There should be an app or service that comes and packs your bag for you, so you don’t have to do it. A real-life Siri.”

20. The weirdest thing you’ve ever asked Google?
“Recently in Europe, I was craving dosa, so I looked that up but nothing turned up. Also, now that I’ve moved into my new house, I have white tiles in my bathroom that I noticed were getting dirty around the edges. So I googled ‘how to take out stains from small hexagonal-shaped tiles’. Later the answer, of course, came from mom.”
